Plaza Blanca, the White Place, is a perfect day hike for adults and children.  Marvel at the limestone rock formations that seem to reveal faces of animals, church spires or medieval fortresses.  Engage your imagination.  Wander through the canyons and walk with care up along a trail to the ridge tops for spectacular views.

 

Plaza Blanca is a destination that Georgia O’Keeffe loved and captured in her paintings of the White Place.  It has also served as a stunning location for many movies, including “Cowboys & Aliens” and “The Lone Ranger”.

 

As of November 2020, Santa Fe Mountain Adventures has a permit to lead private guided hikes at Plaza Blanca.  Access to the site is by advance registration with Dar Al Islam.   Contact us to learn about Dar Al Islam’s COVID-19 requirements and to book a tour with us!
